Alaska Trip - Last of the Pictures

These are the last of the pictures of the Alaska trip. After crossing over into Iowa, we proceeded to Des Moines where we stopped for the night. The next morning, we got up early and drove the 1000 miles home. When you drive 1000 miles in one day, you don't take any pictures.
